IMPROVEMENT IN DISH-STAND The Schedule referred to inthese Letters Patent and making part of the sama.

Z'o all whom 'it may concernl Be it known that I, WILLIAM F..CoLL1ER, of the city' and county of W'orcester and State of Massa- 'chusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dish-Stands; and I do hereby declare the bllowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of theV same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing whichforms partof this specification, in which- Figure 1 represents a plan view of my improved dish-stand. Figure 2 represents a central section, at line A VB, igfl. A

To'` enable those skilled in the art to which -my `inventon"belongs to make and use the same, I will proceed to describe it morein detail.

lhe nature of my invention consists "inanmproved I dish-stand, .constructed as vhereaften' described. y

My improveddish-stand is formed with a centerring, marked A 'rn the drawing, around which is arranged a series of radiating wires, B. Said wires are formed as follows:

Pieces of t-hefproper length arebent in their centers to form the pivot C, and, ata short distance back, are curved in a circular form, to make the legs or supports D; iiom thence they are extended, in a direct line, to the center-ling A, over which they are hookedl and firmly seeured by being clinched at the under side of said ring.

A sutfioient number of pieces thus formed to fill a complete circle is arranged upon the center-ring A,

and their circular curved portionsD connected to each other by metallic bands, as indicated inV the drawing,

or they may he connected in Aany other suitable manner.

YThel center-ring A may be made from flat'sheet met-al, or of round wire, as desired, and the yradialsupport-ing parts of the stand may he made of plain or twisted wire, or of my improved wire, as shown inthe drawing, for which wire I make applicationfor separate Letters Patent.

Having described my improvements in wire dislistands,

What I claim therein as new and of myinvention,

l and desire toV secure by Letters Patent, as an improved "article of manufacture, is-

A dish-stand, composed of thc center-ring A, and radial wires B, the "said wires being bent into the. form shown and described, and connectedwith the centerri'ng, andwith each other, as set forth.
